Cover Story: ESMAX is a GIS-based design tool that quantifies and visualises regulating ecosystem services (ES) generated from different configurations of agroecological systems, based on the spatial signatures specific to each regulating ES. ESMAX underpins a critical shift from analysis to ES-based design where spatial interventions prioritise the maximisation of regulating ES supply and ecosystem complexity is reduced to manageable dimensions. This paper demonstrates the applicability of ESMAX to a peri-urban context. For urban cooling, flood mitigation and habitat provision for two distinct bird species, an arrangement of 1 ha of agroecological parcels integrated evenly through a 190 ha residential development outperforms configurations where the same area of agroecology is arranged in larger clusters. This has practical implications for return on investment and spatial design decision making. View this paper
